Kanye Keeps it Real


How often do people who have the platform and the attention of a generation take the time to use that power for good and not evil? Well hats off to my beloved Kanye West who delivered a passionate, somewhat scattered impromptu speech which diverted from the blah blah blah that NBC wrote for him during the Sept. 2nd Relief Pledge hour. Poor Mike Meyers. Those double takes were priceless!Once our emotional Kanye began his rant Myers went from a supportive side-kick to confused, shocked and ultimately speechless...

Just when you corporate mothers thought it was safe to use Hip-Hop...

Let me break this down for y'all. Hip Hop doesn't love the establishment. It never has. It's irreverent, outspoken nature is a reflection of our struggle and according to Friday's happenings the revolution just might be Televised. I could go on, but for those who know, I don't need to.

I am sure he'll receive all types of criticism and backlash but who cares? It's about time that someone spoke out about how we are ignored in the media. If we aren't cursing, in hand-cuffs, have guns in our hand or shaking our naked asses we don't exist on television. Black people as a whole are disregarded and those who make no money are underserved at best. There is no room for us in the Republican agenda and that ishas been demonstrated in the delayed assistance, relief and rescue missions in the south.

As if you haven't already seen it. Here's a re-cap of Kanye...
